Vincent was dishing out the truth. Alec thought it made sense. His anger at having been ignored by Jenny gradually dissipated.He smirked. "Is that so? Well, what should I do, according to you?""Nothing much. Time will tell," Vincent said."Speak in a language that I understand!""All I'm saying is that as long as you don't give up, you'll be bound to move her one day," Vincent said, smiling dryly.Was that so? Alec felt that Jenny's heart was made of stone. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move her.What was more, there were so many men around her. There was Gilbert, Max, and now Christopher. Although Christopher hadn't done much yet, Alec felt that he was interested in Jenny.Could this be a man's instinct?In Parrington Hospital, when Christopher learned of his father's condition and understood just how dire the situation was, he instantly felt even more indebted to Jenny."Truly, thank you. If not for your quick saving, my father would probably be in Heaven by now

"Well, why don't we have dinner together?" Christopher invited once more. She had refused him the last time, but she probably wouldn't now.As expected, Jenny nodded, smiling. "Of course."She would figure out what his plan was.They decided on a time and place, and Christopher left the office to look after his father.Once he was out of sight, Jenny wiped the smile off her face. She took out her phone and called Zack. "Help me investigate someone. It's Christopher Spade from Bardoff City."Christopher walked into the VIP ward. He wasn't smiling any longer. "You're here." Mr. Spade lay against the headrest with a few documents in his hands. He looked up at his son. Seeing his grim expression, he asked, "What? Has something happened at the Spades?""No." Christopher shook his head and walked up to his father. "I invited Jenny out for dinner," he said.Mr. Spade was hesitant. "Did she agree to it?"Christopher hummed in response. He seemed calm and collected, which surprised Mr

"We're not close now, but we could be in the future." Christopher didn't take her words to heart and merely drove.Jenny said nothing more. She didn't care about Christopher's words at all. She didn't think that they would ever be that close.The car soon stopped at the entrance of the restaurant. They went in.Outside the restaurant, Vincent got off his car. When he saw the two people walking into the restaurant, he was surprised. Hadn't Mr. Faust said that he would invite Jenny to dinner? Why was Jenny out here with another man? After a moment's hesitation, he decided to call Alec.In a private booth, Christopher poured a glass of wine for Jenny and smiled at her. "Would you like some wine?"She shook her head. "I don't drink."Although Jenny knew she had a good alcohol tolerance, after what happened before, she understood that it didn't mean she was invincible. Hence, she still had to be on her guard.Christopher did not force her to drink and gave her a different glass. She

"Can you think straight, Alec Faust?!" Jenny pushed him hard. She could still taste Alec on her lips, and her heart was in a frenzy.He looked down at her, quiet.Some time passed. His low voice sounded in Jenny's ears. He said, "I really wish I could. I know that I shouldn't be harassing you. I shouldn't be the type of person who does this. But…" he looked at Jenny, and his voice cracked, "I can't help it. The minute I see you with some other guy, I get so mad. I wish I could just pull you close to me."Alec knew that the way he was acting wasn't normal. But what could he do? He couldn't help it.He'd delivered a whole speech. Jenny stood rooted to her spot in a daze. The person before her was different from the Alec she knew. She was irritated and pushed him away. "I don't want to hear this. I've told you before that I'm not interested in you. So don't waste your time on me."She walked past him and left the restroom, moving toward the private booth.Alec watched her leave, his

Jenny had seen Alec's text, but she didn't reply. She didn't know what to say. On top of that, she didn't want to pay him any attention, much less forgive him.When she thought of Alec living opposite her house and running into him any time she opened her door, she screamed inwardly.She got up suddenly from her bed and packed up all her clothes. She couldn't stay there anymore.The next day, when she dragged her suitcase out of her house, she ran into Alec. She couldn't help groaning to herself about her bad luck. She didn't look at him, wanting to leave. But Alec's gaze darted to her suitcase, and his face shifted. "Are you going on a trip?"She didn't answer. She was already at the elevator."Answer me." Alec's face had darkened. He barricaded her, not planning to let her go if she didn't tell him where she was going.Jenny was speechless. She looked up and glared at him. "Can't I move out?""Why are you moving out? Don't you like this place?" he asked.She merely glanced at
